Ascendance of a Bookworm

The clergyman, who got the new research material, said that only the time to help would come out of the workshop, but the rest of the time would have been left in a cage. The clergyman went into the workshop at the same time as the 4 bells rang.

Brother Eckhardt is worried about the Cleric Chief, but he seems to be eating dinner once a day, so I don't think he's going to die.

"But if this kind of cage continues..."

"We're going to travel to the castle after the spring baptism ceremony, so why don't we let him study it until then"

I'm not late for work, so nobody's in trouble, and why don't you just leave him alone for a week or so? And I say, I will clean up the tablets and the stone brushes that I have brought.

Brother Eckhardt narrowed his eyes slightly dissatisfied when he thought I wanted reading time for a week or so, too.

"Rosemaine, that's surprisingly sweet for Master Ferdinand. Making Master Ferdinand's research appetite take precedence over my hard work, which is my brother?

"It's not something sweet about the chief cleric. It's my convenience. If the chief clergyman doesn't study it, he won't be able to costume Schwartz."

That's what I told Brother Eckhardt of worry, and I went back to my chambers. The Gilberta Chamber of Commerce is due this afternoon. After lunch, move to the orphan director's office.

"Gil, Fritz, are you ready for what you asked for?

"Yes, two types of high viscosity and low flexibility waxes and low viscosity and high flexibility waxes, Heidi color ink, then hot water boiling pans, brushes, brushes, cloth with fixation solution, vegetable chopsticks, all available"

Gil and Fritz were prepared for the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce to enter the workshop. The explanation alone must be difficult to understand, so I'm actually going to show the wax conjunction stain.

"Thank you, both of you. Please come back when the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce arrives."

"Yes, sir."

After some meeting, Gill heads to the gate to pick up the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce and Fritz returns to the workshop. I drink the tea Fran has made me, checking to see if I have forgotten anything from my room.

After a while, Gil brought in the faces of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce. Five of them came up upstairs: Otto, Corinna, Theo, Leon and Touri.

Touri grinned with delight as she narrowed her eyes for a moment when her gaze met. That makes me kind of very happy. As always, Touri is my angel.

"Otto, Corinna and Touri of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce. We have followed Rosemaine's call."

Otto, Corinna and Touri, whom I will consult, were in the front row, and Theo and Leon, in the position of assistants, were in the back row, kneeling all together before me.

Theo is like Otto's right arm. As Marc assists Benno in his work, he assists Otto. Fran and Otto taught me how to behave to go up to the castle, so I haven't seen much, but I'm a familiar person on this occasion.

Leon is a dapra of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce with whom I have been dating since I was a blue witch. It's been a long time since Leon went into and out of the workshop since the Guilberta and Plantan Chambers of Commerce split, although he was acting with Lutz. I was around adulthood and still had a childish face back then, but I'm totally grown up.

After a long noble greeting, I remembered, and put my right fist against the flat hand of my left in front of my chest.

"Bless the snowmelt. May the Spring Goddess bring great grace"

It's a spring greeting between merchants taught by Benno and Marc. I'm going to have a business meeting today, so I kind of remembered to say hello.

After Otto rounded his eyes to his surprise, he laughs small and similarly puts his right fist against his left palm in front of his chest.

"Bless the snowmelt. May the Spring Goddess bring great grace"

The other four utter the same word following Otto. It feels so strange to me that Touri is greeting the merchant as normal.

"Call me. I have a lot to ask for."

I recommend a chair to the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, and I ask Fran to have some tea. Otto, Corinna and Touri sit in their seats and Theo and Leon stand behind them.

By the time the smell of fluffiness and tea spread to the room, Monica had brought the treat. I will show and recommend each one of them, one bite at a time. Easy cookies to eat while doing business today.

I am satisfied when I see Thuri smiling like a melting smile after eating sweet food. Seeing me like that, Corinna loosened her expression.

"Dear Rosemaine, what kind of request would you make today? I heard there are other hair decorations..."

To the words of Corinna, who tilts her neck with a decoy, I state that I would like to request the purchase of Ella's hair decorations.

"It has been decided that my exclusive cook will be in the summer star knot ritual. I want you to look at the hair decorations that you insert at that time. Although my exclusive, Ella is a civilian, so giving her something too expensive would be awkward, and it wouldn't fit with the costume, would it?

"Right."

Because I took Ella to the aristocratic district, I asked her to look for hair decorations that looked pretty good because she wasn't at the mitzvah, and because she would be the first sunny outfit your parents would see.

"Touri would know Ella, wouldn't he? Could you look at one hair decoration that looks good on Ella born in the spring?

"Yes, sir."

At the orphanage, Tulli knew Ella because he was in cooking class with Ella and working with her in the winter meat processing at the orphanage. I'm sure he'll look out for something that suits him.

"At the bar mitzvah the other winter, I, I thought from the top of the altar, you had a lot more variety of hair decorations. I was impressed by the fact that most women wear hair decorations."

You spread a lot with the hard work of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, and when I said, Touri laughed a little better at it.

"I also always see more women wearing hair decorations in divine marches. Find out what hair decorations are the most accepted and make hair decorations. I didn't see my brother's bar mitzvah the other day."

I was worried that Tulli and Camille weren't there. I was wondering if maybe it was a disease.

"Did you have something for your brother?

"No, my brother is 4 this spring. I can't take you to the temple because it's not the year my parents can hold me all the time anymore. Because the temple must not contain children before baptism."

... Speaking of which, they said I shouldn't go to Thuri's baptism either.

Camill was hugged and came to the door, so I hadn't thought too deeply about it, but speaking of which, the temple is that no pre-christening child should go in.

This means that I cannot see myself until Camille's christening ceremony. It is disappointing.

"My parents really wanted to go to my bar mitzvah in the winter, so I left a message."

Touri grinned bitterly that your work was helpful on a dirt day off. Tulli must have babysitted Camille so that my father and mother could see if I was really well.

... you can't leave three or four kids alone.

You won't be able to see Camill grow up for a second, and it won't be easy to put Camill down and come to the temple from now on. The chances of seeing your father or mother during divine times must also decrease.

Kind of sad, thinking, after Tulli opened and closed his mouth several times, he opened his mouth with a comforting look on my face.

"Um, Master Rosemaine.... My father had requested an escort assignment to Hasse. I am delighted that the Temple Chief's escort assignment is very popular with soldiers at the gate. Thank you from me."

To the words of Thuri I lifted up my face haphazardly.

I have to bring back a gray cleric from Hasse this year, so I'm going to hire a soldier. Apparently, I'm going to be able to see my father in Hasse. I'm feeling a little bit better.

"The soldiers led by Gunter should also be kind to my gray clerics and gray witches, so I can ask for them with confidence. Please tell her it's a pleasure."

"Sure, I got it"

I laugh like Thuri is relieved. As I was healed by that smile, I took out the armband moulding paper and spread it on the table.

"And I want you to make this one for the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce."

Everyone peeked into the armband mould paper and looked all aligned and strange.

"Dear Rosemaine, what the hell is this?

The language is polite, but Touri's skeptical blue eyes say, "Are you willing to start something weird again? He says." It's not weird, but you're generally right. I think it's a must have to start working as a librarian in earnest.

I wrap the paper around my arm and explain how to use it.

"Think of the armband as a mark to show you belong to the organization. This is what the Librarian puts on."

"... it's like a cloth at a funeral."

That's what I said when Touri turned out to be a little difficult. When they say funeral cloth, I don't know what it's about.

"Funeral, is it?

"Yeah, those involved in the funeral wrap a black cloth around their arms. Reminds me of that."

... Sounds like a funeral? Sounds a little off to you? In the meantime, if you put the color aside from black, you'll be fine, right?

I don't have the option of giving up my armband. I just want to be a librarian. I want to match Schwartz and Hannelore.

"I don't think it's going to be an atmosphere of funerals because the colors aren't black and I'll have them embroidered. This is how the armband fits on your arm, pin it here... Oh, you have to ask Johann to make a 'safety pin'"

Once I put down the model paper, I put out my book board and write "Order Johann for safety pins". I also have to talk to Gutenberg once before heading to Haldenzel at the prayer ceremony.

As I was flying my thoughts, I exhaled gently with a face that seemed frightened by Touri.

"Dear Rosemaine, what is this strange pattern?

"Oh, that's the mark of 'The Librarian' I thought. Please keep embroidering this as it is large"

"Yes, sir."

Then I choose the colour of the cloth and the colour of the thread to be embroidered. Four armbands in different colors. I ordered armbands in pieces of colour so that Hannelore could choose the colour of her choice so that she could choose according to the costumes of the Schwartz and the others.

"Then you'll also ask Thuri for a new hair decoration for the summer. Even the House of Lords had a good reputation. I'll leave it to Touri to see what kind of hair decorations it will be."

"Yes, I did. I'll take care of it."

Touri undertakes it with a confident look. The design and the colors are basically left to me, I believe that Touri will make something that suits me.

When I finished ordering my hair decorations, I slowly looked around at the faces of the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce. It gives Otto and Touri a slightly alarming look to see if there is anything else yet. They both seem sensitive for a long time to know my vegetables.

"Then, as I mentioned in your letter, let me thank you in person. We are very grateful to you for your sudden winter request. The prince who saw the hair decorations was also very satisfied. The princess with the hair decorations made by Touri was truly beautiful and the most prominent of the graduates of the House of Lords, so many requests will be forthcoming"

"I'm afraid so."

Though I feel suspected of being unscrupulous again, it is not a mistake. I laughed nicely.

"As a reward, I'm going to give one new technology to the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce for doing my best for me."

"... Huh?

Tulli and Otto looked at me with a face that seemed to have been poked into the void. Corinna tilts her neck with a decoy, while her eyes bring the merchant's harshness.

"It's a thank you for taking on the impotence of doing the royal request, but isn't it necessary for the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce? Then you can tell the Dyeing Association..."

"No! I sincerely appreciate it"

I'm not lying about thanking the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, but honestly, only wax dyeing would be troublesome if it didn't spread quickly. I want you to quickly expand from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce rather than interact with people from stranger associations.

"Make a cloth out of the new dye you're about to teach and be ready to wear it in the social world the next winter. And I want to spread this as an epidemic in the near future."

Touri looked lightly when he said to my words, "I knew it was impotent." At the same time, until then, Leon, standing behind Corinna as an assistant, slightly shines his eyes and asks for a statement.

"Allow Leon to speak"

"I'm afraid so. Does new technology have to do with making new cloths, not with hair decorations?

"That's right. … should it be called dyeing"

When I said so, Leon blew his mouth gladly.

I don't know how Leon would be happy, and when I lean my neck, Otto explains. Leon's home is a store that's wholesale cloth to the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, and it seems to have a connection to all the dyeing workshops in this city. When cloth gets noticed with new dyeing technology, my parents will also make money.

"Now let's go to the workshop. I'll actually show it to you and explain it. Fran, call Gil."

When I stood up, everyone stood up in the same way.

When Gill guides me to the workshop, everyone stops and greets me. I will have it demonstrated. The others, except Gil and Fritz, have it back to work.

Unlike Otto and Corinna, who rarely seem to look around the workshop, Leon looks at the workshop with his eyes narrowed in nostalgia. At the end of my gaze was a paper tool, and I found myself remembering the old days.

"You must miss Leon, don't you?

"Right. We used to go in and out all the time."

"You can still help me today. Because you also need someone who can demonstrate in a dyeing workshop."

Phew, laughing, I gazed at Gil. Gil nods one and opens his mouth.

"What we're going to do is paint technology directly on the cloth. I'm not very familiar with cloth, so maybe it's a technology already known to the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce"

After Gil said so, he looked at me to confirm. I nod lightly to Gil and look around the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce.

"I see many beautiful embroidered and unusual weaving cloths, but I've only seen cloths dyed in one color. Is there a technique that you can squeeze with yarn to pattern or paint?

"... there was a long time ago"

Corinna put her hand on her cheek and said so. Apparently, some of the clothes left behind by the first generation of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce are made of squeeze-dyed fabric.

"It's been decades, but there was a princess who came in from Arlensbach. That seems to have brought one new culture after another to Aerenfest. And when new objects began to fashion in Aerenfest, a uniformly dyed cloth was demanded, increasing the technique of uneven dyeing, and embroidery became popular, he said. At the same time, there was a statement that the dyeing technique was obsolete."

Buying a lot of cloth is noble. If they say that uniformly dyed cloth is the best in that aristocratic society, the dyeing workshop dyes all uniformly. It seems that the squeeze dye, which becomes a stray stain, quickly became obsolete. Even as I watched the epidemic yesterday, I could understand it would.

"Was there such a situation? So if I want to make dyeing fashionable again, do you have a craftsman?

"No, I know you're not here anymore"

The artisans' literacy rate is equal to zero. Naturally, there are more things that don't leave a description, so technology is easily lost, and artisans by that time say most of them are already around the age of death.

"Squeezing and dyeing isn't that difficult, so maybe if you ask, you'll be back soon? You should leave the research to the workshop. However, I am glad that you will now write it down so that the technology will not be obsolete by fashion.... Should I ask the Dyeing Society for that?

"The association may have some records, so I'll talk through it here"

Leon nodded cocklessly at Corinna's words and made a note.

"Besides the squeeze dye, what I was going to teach you this time is wax conjunction dyeing. Maybe it was before, but if it's lost, bring it back to life."

I pointed two fingers at the cloth that had Vilma gently painting the flower underneath with a coal pencil. As everyone stares at the cloth spread over the workbench with interest, Gill and Fritz brush the melted wax, as we met.

"I don't want to dye it with wax staining, I will apply it like this with wax where I want to leave it in white"

"You mean the wax part doesn't have dye in it?

I nodded lightly at Leon's words.

The inflexible wax applied by the frizz gets a little cracked when it dries up. I don't see any cracks in Gil's cloth.

"This depends on the type of wax. If you want to wax, work with the wax factory to create just the right salt plum wax."

Leon, who knew Mine Workshop when he was repeating various trials and errors, distorted his expression for a moment. It's not that easy to capture new technologies. I only teach how to do it, and it is the people in the field who pursue the best.

"Please add more cracks for frizz"

That's what they say to me, and Fritz taps on the cloth and makes a crack.

I applied the color ink Heidi is inventing from above. If it is gollon gollon with the roller used when printing the Gali edition, the wax plays the ink and the whole handkerchief size cloth quickly stains red.

"After dyeing like this, dissolve the wax. The wax will melt when it gets hot, won't it? So when you finish dyeing, you put it in hot water like this."

Gil put two pieces of cloth picked with vegetable chopsticks in the pan and mixed them cleverly to remove. Because they use vegetable chopsticks when dealing with trees and skins in paper making, the gray clerics at Rosemaine Workshop can use chopsticks.

If Fritz washed the cloth removed from the hot water with cold water and squeezed it tightly and spread it onto the workbench, a flower containing a strange pattern could be created with a cloth and a crack that left the flowers white.

"I think you can use either as a way of expressing it. Customer preference, right? You can use it with squeeze dye and wax knot dye, or dye it over and over again will gradually darken the color, right? So if you apply the wax to the petal area again and dye it, you can also change the color with the background, leaves and flowers. Of course, you can embroider it on top of this."

"I see..."

Behind the nodding otto, I see Theo desperately taking notes. It's hard for people to be assistants.

"If you use flexible wax to draw carefully, you can paint fairly fine, or you can apply inflexible wax over a wide range to create cracks and enjoy the pattern. I think it's worth the research."

"In what way does Master Rosemaine want to dye the new cloth?

In the words of Corinna, I thought a little. The squeeze dye is good, and the wax conjunction stain is hard to throw away.

"We want you to incorporate as many new technologies as possible. Would you like me to prepare a piece of cloth from the dyeing workshop in Aerenfest that incorporates both squeeze and wax dyeing in red, the precious color of winter? I'll decide which cloth to use from that."

"... that's what makes the dyeing workshop vibrant"

I laughed nicely at the impressed otto.

"I'm glad you're happy. There are other ways to dye squeeze and wax, so we can talk about it again."
